@Kamva_TS @nickhedley This data (QES) only counts formal non-agricultural employment. It’s a survey of employers. The QLFS, from which we calculate the unemployment rate, is a household survey and counts informal sector employment as employment.

@nickhedley Does statsSA include people who work in the informal sector (taxi drivers, market vendors, subsistence farmers etc.) as employed or are they counted as unemployed?

South Africa shed 97,000 jobs in the 12 months to end-March. That means there are now less than 10 million people with jobs in a country of 60 million. - StatsSA

@BiancavanWyk16 @Muskidd I found this doc—umalusi.org.za/docs/directive…—with a table on page 13 that talks about symbols, %s, and HG/SG/LG subjects. Don’t know if it helps. I think you’d need to find the South African Certification Act 85 of 1986, or accompanying regulations, as Umalusi is only post-1992.

@mj_oos @Muskidd I actually have the 1988 Standard Grade pass rate - 33.3%. I just can’t find the Lower Grade info.

Can anyone remember what the Lower Grade pass rate in schools were in the 1980s in 🇿🇦? I know the Standard Grade pass rate was 33.3% in the 1980s.

@SAgovnews We're in recession. Population growth is more than 2%, sectors are declining from loadshedding. No one is drawing any inspiration from 0.4% growth.

Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, says South Africans should draw inspiration from the 0.4 percent increase in GDP in the first quarter of 2023, which shows that the country is able to make a dent in the economic difficulties it faces tinyurl.com/3rmupbaf

Unfortunately this seems to ignore the fact that there are 10.7% more days in March than February, so generation per day was actually lower in March. The last time SA produced this little electricity in March was in 2003…
Statistics South Africa (Stats SA)@StatsSA

South Africa generated more #electricity in March than it did in February, recording a rise of 4,0%. However, generation was down 5,6% compared with March last year. Read more here: statssa.gov.za/?page_id=1854&… #StatsSA

SA's import of lithium-ion cells & #batteries has gone through the roof in 2022: $734 million or R12 billion! And we already have most of the manufacturing capabilities in SA 🇿🇦 What are we waiting for to build local and regional value chains? 🔋⚡️🔋

Update: The increase in load-shedding since I posted this has been astronomical. Post-2008 we've now had load shedding for ~9095 hrs (~379 days). A typical household has been without power for ~1625 hrs (~68 days). That latter statistic has basically doubled in the last 6 months.

Something I've been working on & graphs I can't resist sharing... Post-2008, load-shedding has been instituted nationally for ~5600 hours (~230 days). Accounting for severity of the different stages, the typical household has been without power for ~830 hours (~35 straight days)

Do you ever read anything? CSIR, Stats SA & universities in SA have produced copious amounts of research papers which show that most grant recipients spend their money on food & transport! Not only do you not understand the society you "serve," you also have anti-poor prejudice!

Deputy Minister explains how South Africans should start respecting their SASSA grants and using them to better their lives and not drink it away. #FASD #FASDfreeMzansi

@urbanjodi Public sector capacity is so important. If you look at some of the reports that are published, it’s immediately clear where the capacity to ensure the output meets a minimum quality is lacking.

Solutions include adopting Open Contracting Standards (open-contracting.org/data-standard/); building public sector capacity as subject matter experts not just contract/project managers; publishing full details of work done under tenders not just initial panels;

We can start with Bain but we need to get more sophisticated with understanding the types of tax payer value extraction that happen in often “legitimate” (as in will pass an audit) ways but still count as gross profiteering off of state weaknesses.
Mbhazima Shilowa@Enghumbhini

Who is Bain and Co doing business with in South Africa? What is their position now after the UK Treasury, that hasn’t lost money or impacted by its action, decided to ban it from doing business with government for three years.
